3. the important of the quality control for reagents and media
In my opinion, the importance of quality control for reagents and media is to
prevent the contamination occurs to the reagents and media. Plus, it is can prevent
the reagents and the media from damaged. Lastly, to make sure that the media is
prepared correctly.
